I haven't done this on my 01 but used to do this on my 99. On accasion I would run a couple quarts of ATF to a tank of fuel.

Just an FYI...2 stroke oil is for chainsaws, atf is for transmissions, and power service is for a fuel tank. White bottle when its cold, gray when it is not.

Thanks for that important information, I was wondering what ATF was for, I was wondering what Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms had to do with making the VP44 run longer. And now following your wise advice I only need 2 stroke in just my chain saw, not any of the other 2 stroke motors I might have. Thanks again for all you vast knowledge regarding all things in fuel additives.
